In 30 days, LGBTQ+ youth will lose the life-saving suicide hotline—a program that’s supported over 1.3 million young people. When folks are in crisis, this admin chooses cruelty over care—every time. But this is the party of “family values,” right?

Trump's Big Ugly Bill is a regressive nightmare, raising incomes for the top 10 percent of earners and slashing them for the poorest people in the country. It's also opposed by a majority of Americans. Remember this as Trump constantly tries to shift the public's focus.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Prayers for an “allergic reaction.” But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe. With no apology or remorse. Fake Christian, small man.

Mike Lee mocks murder victims, spreads lies, and faces zero consequences. No censure. No apology. No shame. In today’s America, cruelty isn’t disqualifying—it’s currency. There are no guardrails left. The brakes are cut, and the arsonists are at the wheel.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

Melissa Hortman was a leader’s leader. I watched her do the right thing over and over again. I’m so glad people are getting a chance to know a little something about our friend Melissa.

Melissa Hortman was only 55 years old. She had a lot more to do. It is so bitter and so sad that her life was taken - assassinated for fighting for what she believed in. It will now be up to us to carry on these fights.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

“Running the government like a business” is just another way of saying that we should privatize government services afforded to everyone. You know who would love that? Wall Street and big corporations. Don’t buy into the myth. https://youtu.be/hqn1uD_B70U?si=aClsRAYTJHYGXpB4

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

I think one of the reasons you hear so much visceral anger coming from Dems about politics these days is bc for years now we’ve been expected to respond with dignity and respect (which we do) when political violence touches the GOP. But when it touches us - we get the Mike Lee’s of the world.
